Does anyone else think that it is shitty booking on TNA's part to have Low-Ki win the #1 contenters spot at the PPV, then book him, Samoa Joe, AND sonjay dutt in a match and have Low-Ki go over Dutt. I understand that they want Joe to be undefeated, but that is the 2nd Damn time that they have taken the belt off of him in a 3way without him losing. and WHY THE HELL is Dutt in the match? what was the point in the #1 contenters match if a loser gets in the match too. TNA is ass-backwards sometimes, I mean all the time.

I was thinking the same thing. And since when are you still undefeated if you lose a triple threat match? Or ANY match? If you lose, you lose.

Dutt was in the match to take the fall. Also Dutt was the #2 contender behind Lowshi, so if they did the 3 way it makes sense for those two to be in it.

Better booking would be Chris Sabin winning :'(

They make it a habit to say after Joe loses a match that "Joe is still undefeated, he has yet to be pinned." Just Gay.

Apparently you people don't understand how to book a wrestling promotion, or how to book a strong undefeated wrestler.

First, Samoa Joe is over enough to the point where putting the X-Division Championship around his waist accomplishes nothing because it leaves the other X-Division guys with nothing to fight over, especially when Joe is going into the heavyweight division now.

Second, Joe's battles with Daniels and Styles were awesome affairs and the fact that of all their battles, Joe has never been pinned and has never submitted, it increases interest whenever they step into the ring again. Not only that, but it puts over Daniels and Styles.

As far as this time goes, the 6-way X-Division match at Slammiversary was an X-Division Rankings match, where he who was eliminated first was ranked 6th, then 5th, then 4th, etc. Senshi was rated number one and Sonjay Dutt was ranked at number two, therefore it makes perfect sense that they both recieved a title shot in a triple threat match the following week on Impact.

What would you prefer? Joe getting pinned by the double stomp from Senshi? Joe possibly submitting to a Sonjay Dutt submission hold? There was no better way to get the belt off him. By booking the match the way they did they've accomplished 4 things:

1) The belt goes back to the X-Division style stars.

2) Senshi is put over to a fanbase that probably isn't too familiar with his style. He will make a great champion.

3) It furthes the feud between Scott Steiner and Samoa Joe since it was Steiner who hit Joe with a chair and took him out of the match. It furthers their feud because he cost him the belt.

4) Samoa Joe is still undefeated and unbeaten in TNA.

As Fox said it was a good move on TNA's part to protect Joe.
